+# Test Pushover Notification — Menu Entry
+
+**Date:** 2026-04-22
+**Branch:** `feat/test-pushover-menu`
+
+## Goal
+
+Give the user a one-click way to verify that their Pushover credentials and
+network path actually work, independent of running an attack.
+
+## User-facing behavior
+
+Main menu gains one new entry:
+
+```
+ 84. Send Test Pushover Notification
+```
+
+Placed directly below the existing `83. Toggle Pushover Notifications`
+entry so related controls sit together.
+
+Selecting it calls `_send_pushover(...)` once with a canned title/message:
+
+- **Title:** `hate_crack: test notification`
+- **Message:** `This is a test notification from hate_crack. If you see this, Pushover is wired up correctly.`
+
+It then prints one of three lines to the terminal:
+
+1. **Credentials missing** — `notify_pushover_token` or `notify_pushover_user`
+   is empty in `config.json`:
+   > `[!] Pushover credentials missing. Set notify_pushover_token and notify_pushover_user in config.json.`
+2. **Send succeeded** — `_send_pushover` returned `True`:
+   > `[+] Test Pushover notification sent. Check your device.`
+3. **Send failed** — `_send_pushover` returned `False` (HTTP non-200, network
+   error, missing `requests`, etc.):
+   > `[!] Test Pushover notification failed. See log output for details.`
+
+### Global toggle behavior (option A)
+
+The test **ignores** the `notify_enabled` global toggle. The entire purpose
+of the test is to verify the pipe works, and forcing the user to flip the
+toggle first would be friction for no benefit.
+
+When the global toggle is OFF, we still send, but prepend an informational
+line so the user is not confused later when no attack notifications arrive:
+
+> `(notifications are globally OFF, but sending test anyway)`
+
+## Implementation outline
+
+Follows the existing three-layer pattern for non-attack menu items (same
+shape as `toggle_notifications`):
+
+1. **`hate_crack/main.py`** — new function `test_pushover_notification()`:
+   - Read `_notify.get_settings()` for token/user.
+   - Empty-creds branch -> print the missing-creds warning, return.
+   - If `settings.enabled is False`, print the "globally OFF" note.
+   - Call `_notify._send_pushover(token, user, title, message)`.
+   - Print success or failure line based on the returned bool.
+2. **`hate_crack/main.py`** — menu wiring in `get_main_menu_items()` and
+   `get_main_menu_options()`:
+   - Add `("84", "Send Test Pushover Notification")` right after the `83`
+     entry.
+   - Add `"84": test_pushover_notification` to the options map.
+3. **`hate_crack.py`** — menu wiring in its duplicate
+   `get_main_menu_options()`:
+   - Add `"84": test_pushover_notification`. Per the proxy pattern,
+     `test_pushover_notification` resolves through `__getattr__`.
+
+No new module, no new dependency, no new config key.
+
+## Testing
+
+Add one test in `tests/test_notify.py` (or a new `tests/test_menu_test_pushover.py`
+if the existing file is already dense):
+
+- Monkeypatch `hate_crack.notify._send_pushover` to a stub returning `True`,
+  call `main.test_pushover_notification()`, assert stdout contains the
+  success line and the stub saw the canned title/message.
+- Stub returning `False` -> assert failure line.
+- Empty creds (`NotifySettings()` with blank token/user) -> assert
+  missing-creds line and stub **not called**.
+- `enabled = False` with good creds -> assert the "globally OFF" note
+  appears and the stub **is** called.
+
+Menu-wiring test: extend `test_ui_menu_options.py` to assert `"84"` is in
+both the `main.get_main_menu_options()` dict and the `hate_crack.py`
+duplicate, and that both resolve to a callable.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- No new backend (Slack, webhooks) — a sibling test for those can be added
+  when those backends exist.
+- No interactive "enter token" prompt; the test assumes `config.json` is
+  already populated, matching how `toggle_notifications` behaves.
+- No persistent state changes from running the test.
